Orange PARIS, Vivid Purple AMSTERDAM

" I had an orange encounter with Hermés, 2 years ago in Bordeaux. I went in to
see the calligraphy exhibit upstairs and then bought a sparkly eye pencil. They
gave me a GIP (gift with purchase!) – a wonderful pendent promoting their new

Its cover cannot compare to the previous one but at least, it has all the superb qualities I have come to appreciate so much in this notebook.

Heck the only reason I looked was I wanted a sketchbook replacement
for my old one
